Thank you for reading this until the end. You don't know how much happiness it brings me knowing you set aside your precious time for this work.

Actually, there was a fanfic festival for WINNER which started last May (I think, but my memory isn't reliable) and I submitted a prompt that goes like: "A Picture of Dorian Gray inspired AU. Mino as a demon who granted people's wish and Jinwoo asking for an eternal life." But a few nights later, I dreamt of this story and I couldn't take it off my mind. It felt like I would be heartbroken if this story does not see the daylight. So I drafted the first chapter and left it on my notes for a few days.

I was worried because this is my first time writing a story and with the current state of my mental health, I wasn't sure if I could finish this. You know, SO SO, what if it's just one of those moods? Because I tend to give up half-way when I am depressed despite wanting to do something that is new in my repetitive daily life. But as I grew sadder, I felt like I needed to channel my sadness somewhere else. So I continued bit by bit. 

But my worries proved to be accurate, I almost didn't finish this! The first four chapters sat on my notes for almost two months. I could not continue because I thought I was putting so much unnecessary heartbreak and sadness in the story. Funny how that depressed me even more when I'm supposed to be releasing it. But once I published the first four chapters here and received support from my online and offline friends (shoutout to Aichi and Rashie! I LOVE YOU TO PLUTO AND BACK!) I felt motivated to finish the epilogue and finally close the curtain to this tragic story. And I'm sorry if I enjoyed too much in channeling my internal conflicts, troubled thoughts, deepest fears and desires to Jinwoo, Seunghoon, Seungyoon and Mino. I know, they all deserve so much love equally. TT.TT

To everyone who will like or dislike this, whether you were triggered or you empathized, please let's just be a little kind to ourselves. That's all. And again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Sending four virtual blue hearts to all of you.
